Now, I want you to read this and think about it for just a moment. The DUmp monkie is saying that the military should have staged a coup and removed Bush and Chaney from office after 9/11 for 'doing nothing'. Fast forward to 2012. Barry did nothing- and continues to hide the fact, lies and more lies to the public and opening shits on the military via his inability to do anything with the VA. Who should the military remove from power?

When you think back to 9/11 Bush and Cheney were certainly asleep at the wheel
Bush and Cheney should have been ousted from power after 9/11. They had warnings from intelligence (even the Israelis) that something was coming yet they took no notice. On the day of 9/11 they just sat there and did nothing. Any responsible leaders would have jumped in action assuring the people and making sure that the country was on high alert. The people in charge of the military at the time should had a court martial and been fired from their positions and that would also included the people n charge. Rumsfeld, cheney, Bush and all military generals including NORAD chiefs but instead they got medals. There's no conspiracy here just wanting some retribution to compensate for the victims. The victims families of 9/11 are still described as whining and a nuisance by Republicans.
However, fast forward 2014 the republicans are complaining about Benghazi!

8. Government leaders are supposed to protect the country
Both politicians and military officials should have been fired. Bush should have been impeached, jailed or something. The intelligence was there staring them in the face.
Yet here we are Benghazi Benghazi Benghazi.......
The current president should be removed for failing to protect the country, lying to the public, and every scandal that has rocked this country.

22. People Need To Awaken From The Spell
It is very suspect that they weren't removed from power. That implies fear to me...fear that other powerful people must've felt of they tried to mess with Barry and the far left Bush and Cheney. And that implies that ]Barry and the far left Bush/Cheney are cold blooded killers. That no one was fired over it anywhere implies a cover up because if anyone was disciplined they would surely start talking. The whole official story is suspect. And btw we were warned many times before August. I watched CNN in 2012 2000 where they stated that anti-aircraft missiles were being placed around the tiny island of Genoa for the annual G8 meeting. They said it was because they were afraid that someone might fly an airplane into the gathering of world leaders like a kamikaze bomb. And Susan Rice claimed in her testimony (not under oath) that it was a video when everyone knew it was notno one could envision a scenario where planes were used as weapons. Why do people refuse to believe that 911 is a total lie...all they do is lie. Sen Max Cleland resigned from the commission because he said it was lies. A majority of New Yorkers believe there was a conspiracy according to Zogby polls. I know it's hard work reorganizing ones belief system after a main premise turned out to be false but c'mon folks. Some studies have shown that if the government admitted a conspiracy occurred many people still wouldn't belief it because they need to preserve their false view of reality.
It doesn't take much to change the DUmps words to reality.

15. You are more charitable than I.
Bush might have been a bungling fool but Cheney knew of the attacks and thwarted any attempts to intervene. Just a guess based on the rodent-like nature of Cheney's character.
Unlike Barry who just doesn't care as long as he gets his golf game in.

21. Honestly, there's little point in arguing about what they did before 9/11
Because it's impossible to know with absolute certainty what happened and what could've happened. No matter what you say about it, you'll still have people on the right who believe it's entirely Bill Clinton's fault, you'll still have people who think they were asleep at the wheel, and you'll still have people who believe in LIHOP and MIHOP conspiracy theories.
Devil's advocate for a moment. Yes there was a PDB saying "Bin Laden Determined To Strike US" from the CIA. The CIA isn't perfect, they get a lot of shit wrong. Sure, Bush could've ordered new security measures at the airports. And in hindsight he should've done that. But if you ordered new draconian airport security measures every time the CIA says there's a threat to the US, we'd be undergoing anal cavity searches before boarding airplanes. You have to balance risk and reward and nobody can be certain that Al Gore would've done differently.
Here's what I do know with absolutely certainty. What Bush and Cheney did AFTER 9/11 was devastating to the United States, to the world, and especially to the people of Iraq. Their administration will be viewed by historians as a catastrophic failure not for the first 8 months of it, but for the remaining 7 years.
And Benghazi is a non-issue other than in right wing lala land.
Only in the DUmp can people believe that the Bush and Chaney could mastermind 9/11 without anyone finding out AND believe that the current president hasn't got a clue what is really cgoing on inside his own government and learns about shit on the news... like regular folk.
**** them.
